that is a cool background, I had to look twice because I wasn't sure what I was seeing initially lolTell those divers in the background to stop messing with your corals!
If this is a newer tank, you may be cleaning it too often.What is happening. I religiously do a 30% ish water change weekly, I have an RODI system and only use that water…I used instant ocean salt and up until this last time everything seemed fine. I don’t have much but my torch and Duncan’s are closing up, and just generally looking like they are dying and my plate doesn’t look far behind!
Not too harsh at all. This is the area I’m still super new…don’t laugh but I’ve been using the sticks to test my water. I have no idea which testing products are the best to use and there are so many out there. My salinity though is tested with a Hanna digital salinity tester But I didn’t get an “accurate” reading until I pulled water from the middle of the tank that’s when I realized how high it was.
How are you testing for Salinity? My tester needs 30 mins to get back to room temp after each test/calibration otherwise the levels are off.

Thank you! I scoured the internet searching for that background!Very sad to think I did this to them. Unfortunately I went away for the weekend or I probably could have caught it sooner. When I did I took out some water and replaced it with fresh RODI. What salinity do you recommend?
That’s likely the problem, keep in mind corals do mean maintenance and sticks are not a good way to test.
You added wave maker and it was low so you added more. Added more salt to the tank? Just looking for clarification because if the salinity was low and you added salt directly to the tank to raise it and it went to 1.034 that could be a problem as could being too low.
